What if the solutions to our most pressing modern problems were already discovered centuries ago? "Great Thinkers" reveals how humanity's most brilliant minds - from Plato to Nietzsche - offer timeless insights that remain startlingly relevant today. While we often assume our challenges are uniquely modern, these philosophers grappled with the same fundamental questions about happiness, meaning, and how to live well. Their answers, tested across centuries, provide a roadmap for navigating our own complex lives with greater wisdom and purpose.
